Hail Hydra

Chapter Seven

Daniel's POV

I'm startled awake by a struggling sound next to me. I look at the alarm clock next to me and it's like two thirty in the morning. I can barely see a thing. I sit up and wait for my eyes to adjust to the dark. On Arya's side of the bed, I see her shifting every minute or so. Her head flips from side to side like she's looking around frantically and something her hands clutch her pillow tightly to the point where her knuckles turn white. She bites the pillow, her teeth almost ripping at it.

I reach my hand out for her then draw it back knowing her warning should probably not be taken lightly. No doubt she'll probably end up killing me anyway.

I reach out and pull the pillow from her grasp. Her hands paw the bed pawing for it. I hold my breath and lightly put my arm around her scooting closer to her. I put my hand on her waist and hug her. She's definitely gonna kill me.

"Shhh..." I whisper calmly. Her fingernails claw at my chest for a minute and I flinch. After a little bit her struggling comes to an end and she relaxes.

Despite the stinging pain from the new states on my chest I slept perfectly the rest of the night.

Arya's POV

I woke up to something the next morning. I face the wall and I feel really warm. That's when I realize what woke me.

One of his arms is wrapped around my stomach and my back is pressed against his chest. I feel his hot breath on my neck and his face is nestled into my hair. I'm not sure when this change happened and how I didn't wake up to it.

I thrash and struggle out of his arms and roll away. "What the heck is wrong with you!"

My commotion startles him and he jerks awake. "What?"

"I said don't touch me!" I growl and roll off the bed and onto the ground and I hit the cabinet in the kitchen. His face is plastered with confusion. "You're lucky you're not out that window yet." I stand and storm off to the bathroom.

I feel shaky all over. Why would he do that?

I undress and step into the shower. I honestly don't care if he leaves and gets lost now. Honestly I wish he would. Maybe Numbers will give him another hit or two or three. I let the cold water run over me and the chill makes me shiver.

The shower doesn't calm me as much as I wished but at least I have a few minutes away from him. I step out and dry off. I changed into a fresh shirt and pants that Rio picked out for me. A black shirt that has some 80's band I've never heard of printed on the front and blue skinny jeans.

I come out of the bathroom and find Daniel dressed and sitting on the bed. "Get up, we need to go."

"Where?" he questions looking up at me with blank eyes.

"Away come on." I pack out the clothes in a bag and wait at the door as he puts on his shoes.

"Bossy much?"

"Well someone needs to tell your lazy butt what to do." I roll my eyes and open the door and he follows me out into the hall.

I looked out scanning the parking lot, I knew Hydra was coming early this morning, I just didn't know exactly when. I look over at the SUV that has a sleeping Numbers in the front seat. I almost smile.

I knock on the glass and she jerks awake, and turns punching the window accidentally cracking it.

I roll my eyes and point at the door telling her to unlock it. "Let me in

She opens the door, "What if I don't like you" she yawns, and reaches behind her pulling on a sweatshirt to cover her tank top.

I'm already aware of your hatred for my guts" I roll my eyes. "How much time do we have?"

"Wow, needy." she pauses and pulls out her phone, "About thirty minutes."

I sigh. "Is this a good idea?"

"I don't know."

I groan. "Why are you so helpful?"

"I'm doing you a favor so can it."

"Fine." I turn around. "I'm going to explain to Dar and Rio."

"Aww, a nickname for your ex. Cute."

"Shut up." I retort.

Daniels POV

Ex boyfriend? I think. I shouldn't care. But I do, it bothers me.

Arya's POV

I walk back into the hotel and Daniel follows me.

"So..." he starts. "You and Darius where..."

"That's none of your business." I spin around and poke his chest, angrily looking up into his stormy gray eyes. "My life is none of your business, you are just along for the ride. Got it?" I pronounce every word with anger.

"Fine fine, no need to be so defensive." he holds up his hands.

I turn back around and continue walking and he jogs up behind me. "That doesn't seem like a healthy relationship anyway." He mumbles behind me and the anger finally bubbles up within me, and reaches a breaking point.

I spin around so fast and slap him hard across the face. "I'm sorry, where was it your place to judge me?!"

"I never was! I was trying to learn the first thing about my kidnapper. So excuse me!"

I hold up my hand like I'm going to sap him again but gunshots go off outside. "Oh no." I grab his wrist and pull him. "We need to get out of here!"

I bang on brother the whole room doors that belong to the other two and I bounce down the stairs and Daniel stumbles along behind me. They come out of their room.

"What's going on?" Rio askes jogging after us.

"Ill explain in the car get in now!"

"Is the Hydra?" Dairus askes.

"Get in now! I'll explain later." They get confused.

In the other direction I see Numbers walking to a fully armed squad with her arms raised. Her gaze quickly darts over, and she mouths one word "run".
